The word chamomile comes from the ancient Greek word chamomēlon, meaning "earth apple," due to the characteristic apple scent released by its flowers.
Chamomile was widely used by ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, not only as a scent but also as a medicinal herb for various ailments.
There are two main types of chamomile used in perfumery: German (Matricaria chamomilla) and Roman (Anthemis nobilis), with each offering a slightly different aromatic profile and properties.
